Veterans
MetLife recognizes that hiring veterans is not just the right thing to do, but also the right thing for our global business. Veterans leave the military with discipline, ability to lead and passion for service akin to our core values. That’s why we foster a company culture that honors the wealth of experiences, traits and skills of those who have served or continue to serve their country. Making a difference in the lives of our customers is truly second nature for veterans at MetLife.
As a company that is regularly recognized on GI Jobs’ Military Friendly Employers list, MetLife does more than simply welcome veterans to our team. We take a focused approach to hiring individuals whose specific talents and goals have proven successful in growing business areas, and we provide targeted training to help them advance over the long term.
